good evening

I thank you very much for the invitation

your particular organization and the

friend Susana year head strength

treatment and commitment and I could not

Send me a hug too, my friend.

pedro baganha and colleague that I liked

much of the organization with

generosity fought good but yes of the ju

that the reason that invited me to be

here has to do with what we have

coming to do and are not born of faith and we did

just to meet you again

we did very little visible things

such as the state of crops

of the Palace of the Bourse

restoration and rehabilitation of neighborhoods

work for many years

many colleagues did not like us much

we have always found it very interesting

and with great impact on people’s lives

once again without great visibility and

with great impact by god

made more visible things such as

example the expansion of the school’s

of the port and in this framework

very sensitive says house and saints 1 do

an extraordinary building of the

60s

we also made the first support center for

immigrants in the harbor the center would be

at a time when this subject was

hit so much we create email from

the country program of Portugal

host major interventions in the

port botanical garden in this house

the house only once and we won

some recognition like this the award

the beloved in this building of the

silva and also with probably in

both the national award of

urban rehabilitation also with houses

flooded in the botanical garden

way of perceiving how it is

I think there are people who know

exactly where and why that makes you there

others who do not know very well think

this is an enlightened idea that comes from

in some cases there was a path that

it did not work and someone said it was

designer who has a lot is very handsome

but it does not work

and it is a thing that is quite

used to hearing the work it takes

usually be a lot more work

simple than a true

work of simple enlightenment and

inspiration and yet I would say kt a

main raw material of our

job
